Chapter 103
Chapter 103 “Just go back first. I still have work to do,” Elliot continued. Hayley looked at him longingly. Every time she visited him, she would come with joy and expectation,but she would always leave in disappointment. Remembering how he had gone to save Anastasiawithout another word, she felt Anastasia must be more important to him than anyone else. Meanwhile, Anastasia returned to her office, void of all inspiration. A sense of annoyance stopped herfrom working, but she couldn’t figure out what it was. Just then, a figure strode out of the elevator, andit was none other than the man himself-Nigel. Nigel was about to go to Anastasia’s office when he bumped into Alice. When Alice saw Nigel, sheimmediately smiled and greeted him. “Hi, Handsome. Here to see Anastasia?” “Yes. Is she in her office?” “Handsome, a word of advice. Anastasia’s relationship with our boss is kind of suspicious. As herboyfriend, you have to be careful.” Nigel’s handsome face froze as he spoke to Alice. “Tell me. What sort of unspeakable relationship doesAnastasia have with your boss?” Alice immediately pointed toward the deserted pantry. “We’ll talk there.” novelbin
Nigel followed Alice to the pantry out of curiosity. Alice gazed at him with a pitiful look as she said,“Handsome, you probably don’t know this. Anastasia joined a jewelry competition, and our companyhas prepared a cash prize of 1 million for the winner.” Nigel had heard Anastasia mention it before; it was something along those lines. “In order to win the prize, your girlfriend is doing everything she can to suck up to our boss. They wereflirting in the office, and she even went on dates with him quite often. They were so intimate, and I’monly telling you this because I can’t stand it anymore. Handsome, you have to be careful in case yourgirlfriend gets stolen.” As Alice gazed at Nigel’s handsome face, she felt that it was too unfair. Where did Anastasia find such a handsome boyfriend? Nigel emerged from the pantry and went straight to Anastasia’s office. Anastasia was still occupied with
her troubled thoughts when she saw Nigel walk in all of a sudden. She was stunned for a few seconds. “Nigel, what brings you here?” Anastasia smiled as she got up to welcome him. Nigel looked at her, unable to believe the scenes he had witnessed today. He smiled. “Nothing much,just thought I’d drop by to see you.” “Do you have time tomorrow? I can treat you to a meal.” Anastasia still felt guilty about canceling herplans with him today. “Anastasia, I heard some rumors in the office just now. It’s about you and my cousin,” Nigel said onpurpose. Anastasia tensed up. “What did you hear?” “I heard that you seduced my cousin just to win the jewelry competition. Is it true?” “What are those people saying? How could I do such a thing?” Anastasia thought it ridiculous. Ofcourse, she wouldn’t appeal to Elliot just to win a prize. “Do you honestly don’t have those kinds of thoughts about my cousin?” Nigel earnestly locked his gazeon her as he asked. Anastasia said without hesitation, “Of course not! I’m just his subordinate.” Nigel bit his thin lip, then asked again, “Then were you really having lunch in the company thisafternoon?” “I… I wasn’t. I treated someone else to lunch. I owe him a lot, so I had to treat him.” Anastasia washonest now because she couldn’t lie when she looked into Nigel’s pure eyes. “Then where did you bring him for lunch?” “Home. I cooked for him.” Anastasia didn’t want to lie, so she came clean. “Why don’t you eat out? Do you really have to go home and cook?” Nigel asked. “He probably thought my cooking was good,” Anastasia answered without overthinking it. At that moment, Nigel instantly realized something because Anastasia couldn’t possibly seduce hiscousin. On the contrary, his cousin had fallen for her, and he was trying to win her over in his own way! “Do you want some coffee?” Anastasia asked him. “It’s fine. I’m leaving for a while to get something done.” With that, Nigel left right away, leaving her
confused. Where is he going?
